Maine has a rich tradition of building boats, going back more than 400 years to the days of the Popham Colony. Rumery’s Boat Yard builds, maintains and restores wooden and fiberglass yachts for those individuals who value traditional standards of excellence.

Please explore our web site and learn a little about what we do. Visit us in person, if you can. Rumery’s is one of the last downtown boat yards, situated within walking distance of the City center. Amtrak’s DOWNEASTER stops nearby in Saco, within view of the Yard: boat owners may now travel from New York and Boston by train to take delivery of their boat in the spring. Call us and we'll pick you up.

Rumery’s builds the Alerion daysailer, 26 feet long, the pride of her designer, N.G. Herreshoff. Rumery’s Alerion is faithful to the original 1912 design. No other Herreshoff boat in production today is as faithful to the original. We invite you to see for yourself.

Rumery’s 38 is inspired by Will Frost designs of the 1920-40s. This is a slender 38 footer that slips through the water leaving bearly a ripple of a wake. Her torpedo-stern and unique lines make heads turn everywhere she goes. She would make a fabulous launch for a larger yacht.

The crew at Rumery’s is experienced in major and minor repairs and restorations. Please look at our project pages to see some recent work. We have done major overhauls on two spectacular ALDEN CHALLENGER yawls. We are well equipped to restore wooden yachts, and will be happy to review your wooden boat repair project with you. Our crew is always anxious to get into an interesting project. We have lots of experience with Concordia yawls and sloops.

Rumery's is a full service boat yard.

 

Call us to arrange a visit soon.

Rumery's has acquired the molds and tooling of DIRIGO USA and Schoenbrod Racing Shells. We will continue the fine work of Dirigo USA founder Charlie Dibble and build outstanding racing shells of exceptional value. Our new web site will be available soon. (click here)
